Mike Baird, legendary drummer
« on: August 15, 2013, 07:53:05 PM »
I happened to be looking at the music video for I'll Be Alright Without You by Journey from the mid 80's, and noticed that the drummer sported a pronounced bald spot.

Curious to know if he'd gone sly since, I looked him up, and sure enough! He's one of us.





Mike has drummed for many major acts in addition to Journey. Link to Wikipedia page.

For the curious, here's a still from the video that sparked my interest.

Even when the d is removed, the devil is still evil.

Good find Bear!!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

GREAT find Bear!! I loved Journey back in the days of Raised on Radio, etc. Still a great band. I see that Mike has embraced the sly look... it looks great on him!
